Well, crud. That just makes me mad.
I'd switch over to Wild Turkey with its 101 proof if I were a JD drinker.
Fortunately, I'm a Maker's Mark man, so no change necessary.
Yes and I am old enough to remember when Maker's Mark sealed in the gold wax was 101 proof. I was told at the liquor store that all of the high octane was now sent to Japan. I still retain a half bottle of Bookers which I will reward myself with on November 2nd. It is truly an exquiste Bourbon and is a lovely 126 proof. As a true daughter of Kentucky I could never bring myself to drink "Jack in the Black". I have made the pilgrimage to Loretto to express my thanks to Mr. Samuels for his gift to the world.
